Why Put a Heat Pump on a Water Tank?
Increase savings and conserve energy by switching to a hybrid electric water heater. The Bosch GreenTronic 7000 T takes advantage of heat pump technology to boost performance, making it 3-4 times more efficient than a standard electric storage unit. Meaning, using a heat pump, you can have hotter water for the same amount of electricity.
However, using a heat pump to supply hot water can take longer than traditional heating elements.
To get the best of both worlds, The Bosch GreenTronic 7000 T comes with backup electric heating elements for when hot water is needed faster. The Bosch GreenTronic 7000 T has five different operating modes to offer different balances between efficiency and comfort.
Better Than a Traditional Water Heater
The Bosch GreenTronic 7000 T is up-to 3-4 times more efficient than a traditional electric water heater without sacrificing comfort.
Back-up heating elements for faster heat-up times.
Choose from five operation modes for the perfect balance of efficiency and comfort.
Operates at 49 dB(A), comparable to a quiet refrigerator.
Optional duct adapters give flexibility of air flow and installation space.
Peace of Mind Warranty & Accessories
10-year limited warranty on tank and parts including 1-year labor.(1)
Auto shutoff leak protection kit (sold separately). It detects leaks and will shut off the supply of water to your water heater.
How does it work?
Heat pumps work by “moving” heat from one location to another. In this case, heat in the air inside your home, garage, etc. gets moved to your soon to be hot water. For this movement of heat to happen, there needs to be a temperature difference between the air and the refrigerant, specifically the air needs to be hotter than the refrigerant.
It starts when the heat in the air gets transferred to the refrigerant since it is colder than the air, this causes the refrigerant to boil, increasing its temperature and pressure.
After the refrigerant boils, it is moved along from the evaporator coil to the compressor. Here, the pressure of the refrigerant is greatly increased, and due to basic laws of physics, so does its temperature.
Now, the refrigerant is much hotter than the water that is inside the tank. This means that the heat from the refrigerant gets moved to the water as it flows through the tubing that surround the outside of the tank.
Once the refrigerant has given up its heat to the water, it is cooler than it was before but is still too hot to take heat from the surrounding air. To drop the temperature so that it can absorb heat from the air again, the refrigerant goes through an expansion valve which lowers the pressure and like the compressor in reverse, drops the pressure and the temperature. Now the refrigerant is cooler than the surrounding air and the process can start over again.
